TELEPHONE-RECEIVER HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 669,800, dated March12, 1901.

Application filed December 8, 1900. $eria1N0. 39,156. (No model-l To007] whont it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE S. MEYER, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Newburg, in the county of Orange and State of New York,have invented a new and Improved Telephone-Receiver Holder, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in telephone-receiver holders;and the object is to provide a simple device of this character by meansof which the receiver will be support-ed in listening position near thetrans Initter, leaving a persons hands free for bolding paper and makingnotes thereon while holding conversation over the telephone.

I will describe a telephone-receiver holder embodying my invention andthen point out the novel features in the appended claim.

The figure of the drawing is a perspective view of thetelephone-transmitter, showing a device embodying my invention attachedthereto.

Referring to the drawing, 1 designates the arm for thetelephone-transmitter 2, and 3 indicates the receiver. The holdingdevice consists of a bar 4, of metal or other suitable material, havingbetween its ends a loop 5, designed to engage over the upper end of thereceiver-arm and having at its inner extrem ity a hook 6 for engagingaround the under edge of said arm. The bar t extends outward beyond theend of the transmitter, and at its outer end it is provided with twodownwardly-extended loops 7 and S, which together form a receptacle forthe receiver 3.

In use While a person is holding conversation over a telephone thereceiver is to be placed in the loops 7 and 8, as indicated in thedrawing, so that the end thereof will come near the persons ear, thusmaking it convenient for the person to use both his hands in holdingpaper and writing thereon.

While I have shown the holding device as consisting of round wire, it isobvious that it may be made of a flat or angular bar without departingfrom the spirit of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, Iclaim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- A receiver-holder, consisting of a bar havinga loop portion between its ends for engaging over a transmitter-arm, ahook at one end for engaging around the under side of said arm, andreceiver-holder loops at the opposite ends of said bar, substantially asspecified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
